    5.1 sound bar?

    I have an older YSP 2100 I think. 30 speakers, 28 small ones and two larger ones. I am in an enclosed room. No windows and sliding doors. To set it up it runs a number of tests to a microphone which is located at around your ear height in the middle of the room. It makes whale sounds but after...

    Oil recommendation for 2014 2.5l Suburu Forester

    The temperature in parts of Australia are melting the roads, the ambient temps are 121 degrees Fahrenheit. The engine temp rose to 227 degrees farenheit yesterday, I hope the oil handled that temperature, any ideas when the oil starts to break down and not lubricate properly?

    Oil recommendation for 2014 2.5l Suburu Forester

    Hi everyone, Just an update. I went with the 5w/40 Helix Ultra for the trip through the middle of Australia. Currently outside is only 42 degrees Celsius, was expected to reach 45 degrees. The engine temp has sat on 103 degrees which is to be expected and I think a bit better than what it...

    I decided to run the Shell Helix Ultra 5w/40 just over the hottest part of Summer here. The heat, bushfires and towing a light trailer all contribute to and increased load on the engine. Thanks everyone for your replies

    Oil recommendation for 2014 2.5l Suburu Forester

    The dealerships recommended 0w20, but imo that is just too thin for Aus. The engine temps today at 33 degrees Celsius was 103 degrees but that was in stop start traffic.

    Suburu 0W/20 7500miles

    All I know is that the car had its "I" service when the oil was replaced, that was 11 months prior. The car did 14000kms in that time and has a total of 108000kms when I came into ownership of the vehicle. It is a 2014, 2.5l n/a and a cvt.

    Oil recommendation for 2014 2.5l Suburu Forester

    The specs from the K&N website are 11 to 17 psi, what are the potential damages that can result? It currently runs a 0w/20, If I am running a 5w30, does that mean that the valve will open sooner?
